That’s Dr. Rock Star, to you
Consider this hypothetical: You’re a graduate student studying aerospace engineering and things are cranking along fine when your campy little musical project begins to take off. EMI and Creative Artists are calling your home phone number and you still have a statics dissertation to work on. It is apparent that you must make a choice between 2 engaging, potentially-lucrative careers: one working out differential equations for uniform accelleration thrust and one doing lines of blow off of a hot blonde’s backside during drum solos. We all know which one Brian May chose more than 30 years ago (although the groupie/coke scenario may not have been a part of his rock star experience, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Brian Harold May has enjoyed decades of success with the band known as Queen, which is still recording and touring with former Free/Bad Company Vocalist Paul Rodgers filling in for the late Freddie Mercury. But, at one time, May was a full-time university student with a part-time guitar jones. His invitation to join Queen was a fateful one, as it meant he would have to abandon his pursuit of a Ph.D. in Astrophysics at Imperial College London. As a member of (arguably) the best-educated band in the history of pop music, May received acclaim as a guitar visionary and respected songwriter, sold tens of millions of records, scored several films, became a Commander of the British Empire, an animal-rights activist, a husband and a father. That would seem a full life to most, but May’s inner academic was not satisfied, so he began in 2007 to make efforts to complete his studies–after more than 30 years! Last fall, May submitted his 48,000 worddoctoral thesis, A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud, which was begun in 1974 and evidences the synchronicity of the orbits of planets and dust clouds in our solar system. He passed his viva voce with flying colors.
It has been confirmed that Brian May will recieve his doctorate, appropriately, in May, giving those who once abandoned their studies renewed hope for realizing their dreams. Who knows, maybe Kid Rock will go back and get his Ph.D. in History with a concentration in Sino-American relations…or, at least, his High School Equivalency!

Brian May joins the likes of Rodney Dangerfield, who pursued his education while being old and rickety… or was that a movie? Whatever! I’m sure it still counts!
Ha ha no offense to Micky since I don’t know him but that’s one twisted dick!
Yea, but its big.
Yeah, and while Rodney was busy with his academic pursuits, he still found time to record a rap song and cozy up to the Raëlians. Respect.
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood…
Actually, Kid Rock did graduate from high school. I just like to pretend he didn’t.
I’m not into music but… is that funny english guy supposed to be JUST a guitarist?
It’s like I would become an amateur porn actor instead of keep doing (Super)heroics full time. Wait, I already do that. (laugh).
